The Academie Duello is putting on a demo this weekend at V-Con,
Vancouver's Science Fiction Writers Conference. The demo is from 10:30
- Noon on Sunday. It would be fantastic to have a group of our students
to participate with Randy and I at the demo to show off your skills, do
some live combat, and help with a bit of instruction. Our goal is to
showcase who we are and attract some more people for us all to have fun
stabbing, frequently.
Bottom line, you guys have played a tremendous role in helping get the
Academie going and it would seem strange for you not to be there.
If you can make it, send me an email directly or via the list, or send

Tournament of the Rapier - Hosted by Academie Duello
Saturday October 2, 2004 10:00 am
- 6:00 pm
This event does not repeat.
Event Location: TBD
Notes:
We are currently working on the details for the first open rapier tournament hosted by Academie Duello. All students as well as competitors from other Western Martial Arts academies as well as the SCA are open to participate. There will be an entry fee. Details to come.
Oops! Yes, thank you for the reminder.
The two files are now uploaded in PDF or Doc format. Download your
pref.
BTW, the sequence I taught is slightly changed from the one in the
files. This was done in consultation with someone with a lot more
experience in marozzo. We felt that it made more sense... possibly that
a mistake was made in the printing. Regardless, feel free to practice
either version. We'll review next week as well.

Randy posed a question: What is WMA (Western Martial Arts)?
Obviously this lead to discussion comparing western and eastern martial arts.
This reminded me of a question that I have thought about several times: Where do the better swords(wo)men come from?
I studied kendo for a time when I was taking a break from fencing. I found it... fun. There are many similar techniques - i.e. footwork and feints. but I often wondered what style was better: Capo Ferro (for that matter Digrassi, Morozo, Silver, Sweatnam, Hale .....) or what is now Kendo?

At the query of a fellow about a charactor named G.H.
Gent, I landed on a certain website:
http://www.thearma.org/about.htm
After a quick skim, I thought I should ask: Have any
others here heard of/read about these folks? If so,
what are your thoughts and opinions?
